Answer:

  • 200

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Total certificates = 500
  • Math = m
  • Science = s

<u>Equations </u>

  • m+s = 500  ⇒ s = 500 - m

<u>Girls who won certificates:</u>

  • 2/3m = 50 + 3/2*1/2s
  • 2/3m = 50 + 3/4s

<u>Multiply both sides by 12 to clear fractions</u>

  • 8m = 600 + 9s

<u>Substitute s</u>

  • 8m = 600 + 9(500 - m)
  • 8m = 600 + 4500 - 9m
  • 17m = 5100
  • m = 5100/17
  • m =300

<u>Girls who won math:</u>

  • 2/3*300 = 200

Jenna bought two more pairs of jeans. If both of them are blue, what percentage of her jeans is blue now? If both of them are no
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
What you must keep in mind is that there are 4 jeans in total, which represents 100%
 When she bought two jeans, we have the following information:
 If both of them are blue:
 50% of their jeans is blue now, that is:
 x = (50/100) * 4 = 2
 2 jeans are blue.
 This means that she did NOT have 2 blue jeans before.
 Thus:
 If they are not blue: 
 We have 4 jeans that are not blue.
 Then, 0% of her jeans is blue now
 answer:
 0% percentage of her jeans is blue now

DUE BEFORE 5:OO!!!!!!

X + y = 6
x - 6y = -9

Subtract the equations, you get:

y - (-6y) = 6 - (-9)
7y = 15

y = 15/7

x + 15/7 = 6
x + 15/7 = 42/7
x = (42-15)/7
x = 27/15

None of your answer choices are correct, since the solution to the systems of equation is (27/15, 15/7)

A scientist has two solution which she labelled, solution A and solution B, each continue salt,she knows that solution A is 65%
Lorico [155]
A = oz of the solution A

b = oz of the solution B



The scientist knows that solution A is 45% salt and solution B is 95% salt. She wants to obtain 80 ounces of a mixture that is 65% salt.



a + b = 80



0.45a + 0.95b = 0.65*80



by solving the above system of equations you'll find····



a = 48 oz



b = 32 oz

~I hope this helped~

If it doesn't make since, I can try to switch up the wording ^^
